16. Chapter 16 Staying in the Palace
"Xiaozhi! Why are you here?" Jia Lian jumped off Emperor Zhou Wen's knee, trotted to the corner, clinging to the other party's hand, and asked in surprise.
Although he had been away for many days, he obviously did not forget this family made of candied haws.
"I...I..." Feng Zizhi's lips moved slightly, and tears as big as beans fell from his eyes one by one.
"Xiaozhi! Don't cry! Who bullies you? Tell me, I'll beat him up!" Jia Lian was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, only knowing how to circle around Feng Zizhi.
"Ahem!" The fake cough sounded like Dai Quan's warning.
"No... no one bullies me." Feng Zizhi couldn't help but choke, and tears couldn't stop flowing down, but she still forced her smile to deny it.
Jia Lian hurriedly pulled Feng Zizhi's little hand and asked, "Did that bad woman and her son bully you? I'll beat them up!"
"Liang'er, come here." Emperor Wen of Zhou looked at Feng Zizhi with majesty and waved to Jia Lian kindly.
"Third Master..." Looking at Emperor Wen of Zhou, and then looking at Feng Zizhi who was crying. Jia Lian couldn't help but hold his little hand tightly, feeling the soft bone in his palm, and stood still without moving.
"Liang'er, come here!" Emperor Wen of Zhou deepened his tone and said it again.
Jia Lian was still hesitating, and Feng Zizhi had already broken free from his hand and gently pushed him towards Emperor Wen of Zhou behind him.
Jia Lian had no choice but to follow the trend to approach Emperor Wen of Zhou, and was pushed into his arms and leaned into his ear to whisper.
With Emperor Wen of Zhou's explanation, Jia Lian's expressions changed from anger, hostility to sympathy and worry.
Feng Zizhi's father Feng Sui was the Minister of Revenue in charge of land, household registration, taxation, salary, finance and other matters in the seven places in Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Shandong and Shanxi.
The official position of the Ministry of Revenue is fat and flawed in the eyes of others. Feng Sui, the position of Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of seven places with abundant oil and water, is even more fat and flawed in the fat and flawed. Feng Sui was able to defeat many colleagues and successfully took up this position, so he surrendered to the prince early. With the favored prince as his backer, he was naturally as stable as Mount Tai. Corruption and bribery, filling his private pockets, etc. are commonplace, and his family even favored concubines and destroyed their wives. As soon as his original wife died, he immediately straightened his concubine and corrupted his personal morality. Originally, the prince's power was taken by the power, but no one dared to impeach him. However, the eldest prince gradually grew older and had already gone to court to study in the six ministries. His grandfather, the Grand Secretary of the Baohe Palace, and the core of the eldest prince's party, Jingtai, naturally had to do something for his grandson.
The old fox stared at the position of the Minister of Revenue, which was full of oil and water. He only needed to collect a few pieces of evidence and handed over to the Censor of the Censorate to impeach him. Feng Sui lost his official position and stopped talking about his family. His family was confiscated and his family was taken into the treasury. Male people aged fifteen or above were exiled. Male people aged fourteen or below entered the palace to be used as slaves. The rest of the female family were all admitted to the Jiaofangsi.
For the old fox, it is not difficult to make the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The difficult thing is how to make up for it. You must know that many people are eyeing this fat and flawed. However, it is fun to be difficult! He was talking about the young man and folded his sleeves with enthusiasm to direct his men to make arrangements.
So, the young Feng Zizhi watched the Dali Temple officials break into his yard and rummaged through boxes and cabinets. The hysterical screams and loud crying of the people of the Mansion filled his ears. The messy and house searches left an indelible mark in his heart. Afterwards, he was ignorant and ignorant, he was held by the eunuch, walked into an alley and locked alone in an airtight room. He was locked for three or four days, and there was no food or water during this period. No one could pay attention to him no matter how he cried. At that moment, he thought he had been abandoned by the whole world.
When he was hungry and extremely weak, Feng Zizhi remembered the candied haw that burst out with a crisp, sweet but not greasy, and sour, and then the pure and dazzling boy who raised a smile that seemed to be attracted by him.
Later, he was dragged roughly in another room and lay on the kang. One of them fixed his waist, and the other two pressed his legs and tied his abdomen and upper thighs with cloth. A man with a fierce face raised a sharp blade bent in a sickle and asked, "Don't you regret it?" Feng Buzhi was frightened and only knew how to make a big fuss. The vicious man ignored him and started directly.
Feng Zizhi only remembered that his body was very painful and was fed something. He forced him to walk in the room for one to two hours before he let him lie down and rest. After a few days in a daze, he had cramps three times a day, his legs hurt so much, and his body was shaking.
Feng Zizhi didn't dare to think about it anymore. For him, it was a hellish day.
Afterwards, he was taken to the palace for training, to pay homage to the etiquette of the emperor, prince, prince, and concubine, and how to serve them... There were a lot of people. After that, he was born smart, learned things very quickly, looked good, and had good luck. He was taken by the eunuch who was responsible for selecting personnel in Yangxin Palace at a glance, and took it back to Yangxin Palace for training.
Of course, out of good intentions to protect Jia Lian, Emperor Wen of Zhou deleted most of the key points of the tilt of power to Jia Lian, and simply mentioned Feng Zizhi's father's corruption and illegal evil.
"So... Then, can Xiaozhi go back to the mansion with me?" Jia Lian tried to please Emperor Wen of Zhou and hooked his little tail finger.
"Young Master! Don't make it difficult for the emperor to do it!" Dai Quan was shocked and said bitterly. Feng Zizhi's background was too complicated. A son of a criminal was involved in the fight between the prince and the eldest prince. He really shouldn't be mixed with a future general like Jia Lian. Besides, Feng Zizhi is now a rootless person. Where can he go if he doesn't stay in the palace? A trace of sadness flashed in Dai Quan's eyes.
"But Xiaozhi is my family!" Jia Lian said unconvincedly with his round eyes.
"Xiao Lian, I'm fine. Eunuch Dai takes good care of me, it's good for me to stay here." Feng Zizhi had already wiped away his tears and said with a wink. He really didn't want Jia Lian to make the emperor and Dai Factory dislike him because of him. Unlike Jia Lian's boldness, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Feng Zizhi has experienced the cruel training of the father-in-law in the inner court, the rumors of other palace people and his own personal experience, and he knows the majesty and strength of Emperor Wen of Zhou and Dai Quan's sinisterness. Besides...
Feng Zizhi lowered his eyes slightly and did not stay in the palace. How could he take revenge?
Seeing Feng Zizhi's face full of confidence, Jia Lian believed it and had to pull Dai Quan's sleeve, "Uncle, then you must take good care of Xiaozhi for me!"
"I understand, I understand." Dai Quan smiled bitterly.
Seeing that the matter came to an end, Emperor Wen of Zhou coaxed him, "Okay, Feng Zizhi has to go to school, don't get in the way."
"Can you not go to school for a day?" Jia Lian dug his mouth and wanted to chat and play with Xiaozhi!
Emperor Zhou Wen patted his forehead with a funny look, "If you don't go to school well, don't get in the way of others!"
"I'm very hardworking too!" Jia Lian muttered.
Jia Lian pouted and put his left hand in front of Emperor Wen of Zhou, "It's all my fault for Uncle Wang! He hits my palm all day long, and even picks his left hand to hit me! Third Master, look at me! My left hand is much bigger than my right hand!" Jia Lian, who was always determined to sue, finally successfully sued Uncle Wang for a small black lawsuit!
Feng Zizhi, who was standing beside him, was stunned for joy.
There is only one place for the eunuchs in the official school to go to school - Nei Shu Hall. Generally speaking, Nei Shu Hall only recruits young eunuchs under ten years old and innocent as students. The emperor appointed a bachelor who was well-versed in the knowledgeable as lecturers. The eunuchs studied in the school for five years. After the age of fourteen, they were evaluated, and then they were filled in various places in the palace and served as office in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
These little eunuchs are the smartest and smartest people in the palace, and they can read and read. They will at least be at the level of in charge in the future. The eunuchs who hold power in each palace were also from Nei Shutang. Because of this, Nei Shutang has always been a must-fight place for major eunuchs in the palace. Every year when recruiting new students, the eunuchs in the palace use their influence to insert their own confidants and juniors into it.
Originally, as Feng Zizhi, who was the official, was impossible to study in Nei Shutang, but now Emperor Wen of Zhou spoke, with his words, how could Nei Shutang not allow him to enter school?
"I thank you for your kindness!" Feng Zizhi fully understood how much impact he would have on his future future and life when entering the Nei Shutang. Her legs were closed from the bottom of her heart, and she bent down, and kowtowed with gratitude.
Seeing Feng Zizhi's excited look, Jia Lian was confused, as if he knew that going to school was very important to his friends, so he shut up and did not ask Feng Zizhi to accompany him.
"Then I will send Xiao Fengzi to the Nei Shutang first! Now, I think I can still catch up with the class of Mr. Kong today." Dai Quan bowed.
"Go!" Emperor Zhou Wen secretly praised that Dai Quan knew his feelings best, and waved his hand accurately.
Eunuch Dai, who has remained standing for decades, smiled with a reserved and subtle smile.
Jia Lian waved obediently to his friend, "Xiaozhi, I will come to the palace to see you next time. If you study hard, I will dance to show you." Encourage your friend to study hard.
"Yes!" Feng Zizhi nodded heavily, stared at Jia Lian reluctantly before jogging and catching up with Dai Quan and leaving.
"Liang'er, just call Dai Quan and partner in the future. Don't call him uncle anymore." Emperor Wen of Zhou suddenly remembered the question of the name.
"I understand." Jia Lian looked straight at Feng Zizhi's slender back and nodded in response.
"Third Master, I have learned a new set of guns. I will practice it for you, okay?" Until Feng Zizhi's back could not be seen, Jia Lian hugged in Emperor Wen of Zhou's arms and looked up and said.
"You learned the gun so quickly. The method? Okay. If you practice well, then... I will reward you..." When Emperor Wen of Zhou was about to say the reward, Jia Lian immediately took it.
"Is it okay to give me a set of clothes?" His eyes were bright, obviously he had planned it.
Emperor Wen of Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "A set of clothes?"
"Yes, just a set of clothes." Jia Lian paused, "Master Li has a drawing to make clothes for me!" He changed his identity openly with the drawings [Tiance Tang Di Set] that the system was about to reward. Anyway, no one has read the secret biography of Tiance written by Master Li. What was in it was just for him to say anything? Jia Lian smiled as cunning as a fox.
Master Li is Li Chengen.
Master Wang Yi believed that since Jia Lian had obtained the secret book of his old friend and inherited his old friend's mantra, he should also regard his old friend as his master. Therefore, Jia Lian also knelt in front of the secret book of Tiance, kowtowed three times, and recognized Li Chengen as his master.
"Okay." Emperor Wen of Zhou didn't care, so he ordered someone to take a "short" gun.
When Wang Yi asked the Wubei Academy of the Internal Affairs Office to build a short steel-cast gun, the eunuch in charge of the Wubei Academy reported that Emperor Wen of Zhou had asked someone to beat another one in case of emergency. Anyway, the emperor was rich in the world, and having money was willful.
Jia Lian jumped off the human-shaped "dragon throne" and took the "short" gun raised by the two eunuchs together. His expression changed and became solemn and dignified, and his whole aura was also different.
Even if the wolf in the Eastern Capital is young, it is a wolf cub that can tear the enemy apart.
When the spear tip is a little, the enemy's soul falls.
